The NYTimes has a terrific article about the concert performed last night in North Korea by the New York Philharmonic, and the largest contingent of US citizens to step foot in North Korea since the Korean War. Definitely check out the audio link to an interview (by Jeff Spurgeon) that I heard this morning on WQXR of the article’s author, Daniel Wakin. Here’s one YouTube link as well of Lorin Maazel’s introduction of the orchestra at the concert (as well as 4 minutes of Dvorak’s New World Symphony).
